As far as an epic love affairs go, my relationship with a long-lasting foundation is often unreciprocated. Living in the tropics with a hot and humid weather all year round, it is difficult to find one that is absolutely long-lasting; one that lives up to its claim.
Humbly brag aside, I was definitely sceptical about Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Foundation much hyped-about longevity. In fact, a 24-hour wear claim. Sounds too lofty to be true? There was only one way to find out: I decided to give the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Foundation a try, price tag be damned.

Putting the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Foundation to the Test
While my skin woes ranged from minor pigmentation caused by old acne scars and a sometimes dull complexion due to a lack of hydration or a lack of sleep, my biggest concern was actually my rosacea. My skin, especially my cheek area tends to flush in redness easily especially during the hot summer season.
The Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Foundation was an ideal choice sold to me, as it provides a flawless medium to full coverage for a look that stays vibrant and fresh whether it’s a workday, a workout or a weekend. It covers up my imperfections, all in a relatively lightweight and refreshing formulate. It took one try for me to conclude that my existing Etude House Double Lasting Foundation is nowhere near to being a dupe for the Estée Lauder Double WearStay In Place Foundation, a misconception that everyone perceives in Korean Makeup.

Does Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Foundation lives up to its claim?
Here’s where we’ve got to address a common question: can this foundation really last 24 hours? I push the limits of this foundation by going through a day packed with activities and even a workout.
From the first time I applied it, I fell in love with it. It has a super full coverage. It looks flawless but not like skin. You can tell that someone is wearing it. I think applying it in very thin layers and not more than 1-2 layers help to achieve that flawless mattifying look.
